Today I have swatches of Enchanted Polish's holos from June, July and August 2015. I purchased these as part of a pre-order. I know I do not post often but I will be on more in the next few weeks with lots of new swatches! These are my first ever polishes from Enchanted Polish and I could not be happier with my purchase!

1. June

- Barbie pink holo

- silky application

- one coat good but two coats better

- super glossy; no top coat needed

- easy removal

- overall: UH-MAZING! Hahah sorry but this polish is amazing

- rating: 5/5 purchase

2. July

- Steel blue holo

- thin application (slightly liquidy)

- needs two coats

- slightly streaky application

- super glossy; no top coat needed

- overall: a bit thin but that's probably due to light shade

- rating: 4.5/5 purchase

3. August

- Amethyst holo

- strong, unpleasant smell (like expired fruit)

- thick application but manageable

- two coats recommend

- extremely vibrant color and holo

- near matte finish; top coat suggested

- overall: a little thick and strong smell but overall worth it due to color

- rating: 4/5 purchase

So my overall takeaway is that these polishes were definitely worth purchasing! They are vibrant and holographic! I highly recommend this brand!

I know that it has been a while since my last post but I have not had time to write out a post.

However, it is finally summer so I will have much more time to dedicate! Today I have Essie’s

Cashmere Matte Brights Collection that is exclusive to Ulta Beauty. This collection is a pastel color update of their winter line, cashmere mattes. The polishes are $8.50 (in US) and are only available at Ulta. The line consists of four colors with a matte dry finish. The colors are, in my opinion, unique but more suited for spring. Below you will see my swatches, opinions and overall verdict!

So my overall opinion on this collection is that it is mediocre. I definitely do not think this is worth purchasing, unless you really like one of the colors. They all dried matte, but it was a strange type of matte in which every lump, bump and brush stroke was visible. I personally preferred the colors with a top coat. They all had liquid-y but somehow thick consistency. 26/40 is my complete grading and I say Pass!

Today was
Mother’s day, so I hope all the moms out there had a wonderful day! Thanks mom
for all the things you do! <3 So for nails, I did something that has nothing
to do with mother’s day. I stumbled across a picture of these on Pinterest and
knew I had to recreate them.

These are
so much fun and are prefect for spring! I do not know where you guys are from
but in New England, it is very hot lately, summer-like. These are colorful and
have a fun print. These are super easy to do and addictive to look at. The mix
of pastel sky blue and bright pink is perfection.

As usual, I
have created a tutorial for you to follow! I know there is no sound and in this
one the lighting gets darker and the polka dot film was useless. My iPhone
overheated so the flash refused to work- sorry. To do polka dots; however, I do
three dots then four in an alternating fashion until I reach the end of my
nail. The colors I used are:
